The Physics Department, independently, and in collaboration with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the Materials Science Program, and the Nuclear Science and Engineering Program offers combined BS/MS degree programs in which students obtain an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics, in as few as four years, as well as a masters degree in Applied Physics, in an Engineering discipline, in Materials Science, or in Mathematics, after an additional year of study. There are three engineering tracks, three physics tracks, a materials science track, and a mathematics track. These programs emphasize a strong background in fundamentals of science, in addition to practical experience within an applied science, engineering, or mathematics discipline. Many of the undergraduate electives of students involved in each track are specified. Students in the engineering tracks must complete a report or case study during the last year. Students in the physics, materials science, and mathematics tracks must complete a master's thesis. Students in the nuclear engineering program can choose between thesis and non-thesis options. The case study or thesis should begin during the senior year as part of the Senior Design experience. Participants must identify an engineering or physics advisor as appropriate prior to their senior year who will assist in choosing an appropriate project and help coordinate the senior design project with the case study or thesis completed in the last year.
